Meanwhile, Kym has been busy attending charity bashes and beauty contests with her daughter, Emilie Cunliffe.

She was a judge for the Miss Sparkle - a transgender beauty pageant and also sang at a ball in aid of Butterwicks Hospice.

And she was also a guest on a show for Radio 2, as fellow Coronation Street st Craig Charles was standing in for Graham Norton. Kym said: “It’s nice having somebody who knows you interview you as you have lots to talk about and he usually takes the mick out of me too!”

And whilst Kym loves the limelight, she admitted she would not want to be in Celebrity Big Brother, She wrote in her OK! column: “I would never do it! I think the show is so exposing - you’re put in a house with a load of people who are completely different characters, and you won’t get on with some of them. It would drive me insane being in there and the thought of not being able to get away from each other.”
